What counts as a bankroll is money put aside for play that is surplus to everything else. Management is fixing the amount first, then sizing stakes so a normal losing run does not exhaust it, with the figure treated as final and not as an opening position. Decide first and play second, because this is the decision that gets worse when made during play.
The common misreading
Chasing losses is often framed as recovering. Expected return is below zero, which is why stakes raised after a loss increase the expected loss and never reduce it. An intuition that a bigger bet can win the money back holds up as a possibility in arithmetic and fails as an expectation.

Using it in practice
Determine both the amount and the stopping point before you spin for the first time, and not during the session. If the money is no longer discretionary, seeking support is the right move over adjusting the staking plan.
Bankroll management is one of the terms the game pages on this site keep returning to, and if the studio hasn’t published the figure behind it, the page tells you so instead of borrowing a number from a comparison site. For that reason, a number of the spec tables on this site have empty cells.
A worked example
Run 80 spins on a high-volatility game and getting nothing is an ordinary outcome, not an unlucky one. Plan for 20 spins of bankroll and that class of game will finish it off before the run is over, every time. Fitting the stake to a session budget of 300 spins or more is the minimum requirement for the game as designed, not a cautious extra.
